Tirilye , derived from the Greek name Triglia ( Greek Τρίγλια or Τρίγλεια ), is a former municipality in the district of Mudanya in the province of Bursa in today's Turkey in the historical area of the province of Bithynia with around 1500 inhabitants (2018). Today Tirilye is part of the district center of Mudanya. Other historical names for the place are Trianomia and Brylleion (Greek Βρύλλειον). In 1963 the village was renamed Zeytinbağı and in 2012 the renaming was reversed.
history
There is evidence that the region has been inhabited since ancient times. There are various theories about the origin of the Greek place name. Since the village is located on the Sea of Marmara , a connection to the Greek expression "trigli", which is a slang word for the striped barbel, is obvious . There was also a Trigleia monastery of the same name on site. In the time of iconoclasm , the monks of the place supported the partisans of image worship.
Even after the Byzantine era , the majority of the population remained Greek. During the period of the persecution of the Greeks in the Ottoman Empire from 1914 to 1923 and finally with the population exchange between Greece and Turkey , the Greek presence in Tirilye ended. In today's Greece , the names of the towns of Triglia and Rafina (also called Nea Triglia Attikis) are reminiscent of the place of origin of refugees of Greek origin from Asia Minor, who immigrated to Greece from Triglia in Asia Minor as a result of the Peace Treaty of Lausanne . On January 19, 2019, the Ecumenical Patriarchate celebrated the great consecration of water in the village for the first time in 97 years.
